The Haemonculi are always seeking new ways to inflict horror upon the denizens of the [[Materium]]. Certain Covens, such as the [[Children of BonBone]]e, specialize in developing thin Grotesques to aid them upon the battlefield, while the [[Ebon Sting|Coven of the Ebon Sting]] are famed for their especially venomous Engines of Pain. It is these hideous horrors and monstrous constructs that do the majority of the killing when the Coven mounts a raid. Having lived for thousands of years, the Haemonculi look upon the planet-wrecking wars of lesser races with a snickering amusement.{{Fn|2}}
==Equipment and Abilities==
Haemonculi are known for carrying strange but lethal wargear unique to them. Some of this wargear is impossible to obtain even by [[Archons]].
As every Haemonculus is old, perverse, and cunning, they carry some "dirty tricks" in their tainted sleeves. Having access to arcane wargear of the [[Dark Eldar]], they might possess some truly dreadful weapons, array of technology such as:{{Fn|4}} *'''Weapons'''{{Fn|4}}

Haemonculi also employ many gruesome machines and minions in battle. Though often [[Wrack]]s and [[Grotesque]]s do much of their dirty work, Haemonculi consider [[Engines of Pain]] to be the pinnacle of their art.{{Fn|1}}
